Music In The Mountains: Jaaiye Aap Kahaan Jaayenge

"Mere Sanam" (1965) is one of those films which were not exceptional in the story department, yet they were hits at the box office because of their superlative music and beautiful locations. The story is predictable, the characters are black and white without any shades of grey. They fit in the usual slots of hero, heroine, villain, vamp and comedian. But the film worked, as nothing in it was terribly wrong either. Also, it was in tune with the kind of films being made at that time.

Music is one of the main reasons why we talk about the film even after so many years. Enjoy this solo by Asha Bhosle in her inimitable style. The lovely landscape of Kashmir provides a fitting backdrop to her vibrant vocals.

Singer: Asha Bhosle
Lyrics: Majrooh Sultanpuri
Music: O. P. Nayyar
